Most references to Jobs' management style refer to his second term, presumably after he matured a bit.

Reminder that life can also make interstellar travel thinkable by slowing down - four years (or four thousand years) seem like a long time because our lifespans are short and we think fast. If we were tree-like, or immortal, our timescales

Sort of, but two things add up - lots of little services (I don't like the microservices word), but we do make small services for the workloads that make sense to run and maintain independently. The other is burst, we run a business wh

We do have environment variable injection, that's mostly what the hook lambda does. Same envvars are injected into both the lambda and the ECS task definition.

So the way we're using this is this: * We write our HTTP services and package them in containers. * We add the Lambda Web Adapter into the Dockerfile. * We push the image to ECR. * There's a hook lambda that creates a service on E

Seems like capacitors, inductors and batteries differ only quantitively in their response curves, not in qualitatively? As in they all do different things to the circuit on the voltage, amperage and time axis? We would need separate words f

The the term TPU a Google trademark? I'm understanding it to mean any ML focussed ASIC or supplemental SOC hardware.

Matt says there will naturally be changes, which is usually CEO-speak for layoffs. I don't think anyone is happy that AWS is missing the bus on AI.

Did this for DynamoDB over the pandemic. Helped me learn both the Redis API and DynamoDB. https://github.com/dbProjectRED/redimo.go Want to do the same thing with Postgres as well. The Redis API and data structures are

The way I understand debits and credits is to take the same equation and name the left and right side. Assets + Expenses = Equity + Income + Liabilities Sum of all debits = sum of all credits These two equations have their sides associated.

Not sure why what would matter. One party (US taxpayers) is paying another party (Intel shareholders) to do something specific. What recipients do with the money is their own problem. EDIT: Sorry, read this as strings attached to what Intel

by sudhirj 3y ago
Intel didn't get a subsidy because they're poor, the subsidy exists because the US Government wants the company to do something (setup a fab on US soil) that is not necessarily in the shareholders best interest (cheaper to set up

Putting aside the weird beliefs, the principles themselves are actually pretty decent and widely applicable. Strange place for principled thought leadership to come from :-/

Becoming among the best in the world at one or an intersection of things is an excellent individual outcome, and one way to do that is to work hard on what interests you. You can certainly become the best in the world at some combination of

A postfix modifier at the end of the sentence. Roughly translates to “at kal I did” or “at kal I will do”.

What’s the game theory-ish take on this? Isn’t cutting off China’s access to chips counter productive in the long run, because of course they’re going to throw the country behind being self sufficient in this regard. Is the process where cu

Phase changes will probably work well for structures that would otherwise be used for insulation anyway - in the case of this particular idea though, I think heat is moved in and out using another medium, air in this case, so a phase change

Huh? They do make one to set it up. More a way to avoid having the public keys of every single client every loaded up into the wireguard kernel module on the gateway all the time.

Think there's lot of examples of the Fortune 5000 just being a single Rails or Django app for the longest time. Seems in line with the we're soon going to see a single person billion dollar company narrative.

It isn't usually classified as a gift, it's company property that you use exclusively. So on the books it's a depreciating asset for the company.

The energy that comes from a mass-energy conversion greatly exceeds kinetic energy losses. For the same reason that the power of an atomic bomb does not depend on how fast you smash the sections together - it depends on how much mass is con

There's two different kinds of energy here - the kinetic energy of a moving thing hitting you in opposition is a problem. No way to capture that as far as I know - it's like running into a wall and asking how it can help you go fa

This is generally true of most of the product line... the iPod Nano / Shuffle were very popular but not the first iPod, the Watch is popular now, but the first one wasn't a all that, same with AirPods, and of course the iPhone its

If you're up for AWS then the SNS-SQS combo works great. If you're not into giving short term credentials to clients then a lambda (with HTTP invocation) should work fine. For bare servers maybe NATS? Think it had HTTP/S supp

Yeah, have learnt the hard way over many weekend midnights to know these numbers. This particular problem especially leads to exponential explosions - something needs to be pretty overloaded or computationally expensive to take over 30s (or

Depends on the queue... I've seen SQS queues holding millions of messages, and think I've heard of a billion plus somewhere - not sure other systems handle that kind of pressure. In terms of monitoring, yeah, most systems will off
